Sebino Primary School in Namisindwa District has closed following a severe storm that struck Bukiabi sub-county. The storm, which hit on Tuesday, destroyed four classrooms, affecting 264 learners.
The affected classrooms include Primary One, Two, Three, and Five. However, no injuries were reported, as students and staff had been sent home before the storm intensified. The school’s staff room was also destroyed, prompting calls for immediate government assistance.
The head teacher, Bernard Mafabi, stated that students have been sent home temporarily due to the lack of suitable space for lessons. Bukiabi sub-county LCIII Chairperson, Nicholas Soita, reported that over 30 homes and crops, including bananas, cassava, and coffee, were also damaged in the area.
